SAW NO WARSHIPS
Men on Trawlers Deny State
ments of Russians.
OFFICIAL INQUIRY IS BEGUN
Witnesses for Britain fn the Dogger
Bank Incident Are Also Positive
Wo Japanese Were Harbored
or Torpedoes Carried.
HULL,. England. Jfov. 15. The Inquiry,
which Great Britain la conducting on her
own behalf In the North Sea Incident
opened today- Vice-Admiral Bridge and
Butler Atplnwall. an Admiralty court law
yer, who were appointed to conduct the
inquiry and whose report will form the
basis of the British case before the In
ternational commission at Paris, sat at a
large table surrounded by maps showing
the Dogger Bank and the North Sea. In
front was an array o counsel and gov
ernment officials.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learned, at the outset that the
board of trade solicitors, who have been
preparing the case have found no evidence
to suggest the presence of the torpedo
boats among the fishing fleet. The in
quiry "will, therefore, merely be an am
plification of the evidence at the Inquest
and it will be adjourned to London in
the course of a few days, the proceedings
here being confined to a narrative of the
shooting. The assessment of damages,
which will be dealt with in London, can-
rot be completed for some time, as many
of the trawlers are still at sea.
The findings of the court will -be sent
to the Board of Trade and will be sub
mitted to the international commission.
It is not likely that they will be pub
lished before the commission commences
its sessions, but with the exception of
the amount of the damages, it can scarce
ly add to what Is already known, a care
ful examination of all the witnesses in
private having substantiated in all essen
tial details the story the fishermen orlg
inally told.
Admiral Bridge started matters with
businesslike promptness, briefly announc
lng the method of procedure and stating
that there would be no speeches. Various
counsel representing the trawler com
panles and the victims received permission
to examine the witnesses, and Mr. Pick-
ford, counsel for the Board of Trade, sum
Tnarized the facts connected with the "la
men table occurrence," saying there was
nothing connected with the trawling fleet
which could possibly account for the
shooting. He added that in addition to
the witnesses to be called, a careful in
qulry had been made among the entire
fleet, and the statements made agreed in
all essential respects. Mr. Pickford highly
commented the pluck shown by the men
of the trawler Gull in saving the wounded
from the sinking trawler Crane.
The first witness was Mr. Behring, man
aging director of the fleet. He testified
that for 23 to SO years the fishing fleets
had been trawling off Doggerbank.
The Husslan Consul, who was accom
modated with a seat on the platform.
asked the first two witnesses if the men
of the trawler fleet had reported seeing
other warships besides the Russian ves
scls, but apparently only the Russian
-essels had been met.
Some Interest -was added to the proceed
ings by the introduction of a tiny kind of
trawler. Photographs showing the large
lettering and numbers on the funnels and
sides of the trawlers attacked were also
presented. The witnesses all denied that
any arms, ammunition or contraband
were on board the trawlers. There was
310 room. It was added, to carry a torpedo.
Several maritime storekeepers swore that
nothing was put on board the trawler ex-
.cept supplies and coal.
Testimony of VIce-Admlral.
""Vice-Admiral" Carr, who was in charge
of the trawling fleet at the time of the
attack, said lie had been in the naval re
erve for 17 years, and was accustomed
to men-of-war and naval signalling. The
only warship he had seen on the trip In
question, besides the Russians, was the
regular British cruiser stationed off Hull
This was several days prior to the traw
ling fleet falling in with Vice-Admlral
HojestvensKy's squadron. Carr reiterated
that the first Russian division passed close
to the trawlers without firing and that
the second division, after starboarding
and keeping their searchlights steadily on
the vessels, fired with the result known,
Carr also said when he first heard the
firing he "thought they were having
bit of a game with themselves."
The warships were so close that he could
see men passing the open portholes of I
the Russian ships. He kept sending up
green rockets which are not only known
throughout the world as a sign that they
come from a fishing fleet, but as they
burst they lighted up the trawlers so that
their number could be seen.
About one vessel which came upon his
port quarter Carr was uncertain. It might
have been, he admitted, another trawler,
but he at first thought it was one of the
Russian warships.
Answering the Russian counsel, Carr
maintained that the Russians did not sig
nal to the trawlers to stop, and stoutly
declared there could not have been a
strange vessel among the fishing fleet.
At first Carr thought the Russians were
British warships practicing.
After luncheon it was announced that
Dr. Herbert "Wbodhouse would represent
tho Russian embassy at the inquiry-
Commander G. C. Frederick was the
first witness in behalf of the Admiralty.
He had drawn up a diagram showing the
probable positions of the Russian vessels
and the trawlers. Commander Frederick
said the Russian squadron was 30 miles
out of its way, but. replying to Dr. "Wood
house, said, if it apprehended danger, it
would be proper to deviate from the or
dinary course.
A home office expert in explosives iden
tified the shells as Russian. One bole was
caused by a six-inch shell. The Home
Office has secured all the fragments of the
exploded shells, and has caused them to
be pieced together. Therefrom an expert,
in the manner of Sherlock Holmes, re
lated their origin, the angle of firing,
caliber, etc. concluding with a scientific
demonstration from the fragments that
the trawler Mino could sot have been hit
unless the projectile had been deliberately
aimed at her.
No Japanese Trawlers There.
The skipper of the trawler, Keith, in
reply to questions, declared there were no
Japanese trawlers and no Japanese pres
ent, and that no Japanese agents made
any suggestion to him whatever. It would
have been impossible for the trawlers, he
added, to screen a torpedo-boat.
Dr. Woodhouse elicited from the witness
information that the trawler did not at
tempt to show distress or other signals
with the view of getting the Russians to
cease firing.
Tho skipper of .the Snipe related how his
vessel had been Bit. Dr. "Woodhouse ques
tioned him closely. He asked why he had
not stopped when the first shots were
fired, or at least raised signals of distress.
There was some amusement when Dr.
Woodhouse asked:
"Did you want to get hit again?"
The skipper, in the broadest Yorkshire
dialect, replied:
"Noa. That's why I kept agoing."
Counsel for the Board of Trade suggest
ed It was rather hard to say what would
have made the Russians stop.
Admiral Bridge' pointed out that the
Snipe was technically not in distress, as
she had not been hit below the water
line. Another skipper caused a laugh when he
declared he never saw a Japanese in his
life.
This was the tenor of the evidence
throughout the afternoon. Dr. "Woodhouse
eliciting that it was the general belief on
the part of the fishermen that they first
thought the vessels were British warships
maneuvering. It never occurred to the
trawlers to -stop, but when they were hit
they ran.
VWbat would you have done?" asked
one burly fisherman, amid laughter.
Dr. woodhouse replied he was not the
skipper of a trawler.
A surgeon of the North Sea hospital ship
Alpha was the last witness, and brought
out the ,rather important statement that
all the Alpha's lights were extinguished
soon after the fire commenced. The in
quiry was then adjourned.
The Commissioners expressed satisfac
tion, at the progress made.
Cases of Personal Injury Come Next.
It Is hoped that all the testimony re
garding the cause of the shooting will be
concluded by the afternoon of November
17. Cases of personal injury will then be
taken up. These are expected to be fin
ished by November 18, when the venue
mill be changed to London, where the as
sessment djf, material damages will be
commenced. This is likely to prove the
most Intricate part of the inquiry. As In
timated today, an effort will be made to
establish broad claims for indirect com
pensation on account of the disintegration
of the trawling Industry consequent jon the
Dogger UanK affair.
Dr. "Woodhouse. who Is a local solicitor.
only today received telegraphic instruc
tions to be present, the Russian Embassy
having previously informed tho Russian
Consul here that representation was un
necessary. The Embassy has not been
given detailed instructions, and unless
such instructions are received, no witness
will be called in rebuttal or in behalf of
Russia.
Dr. "Woodhouse Is merely watching de
velopments. Neither he nor the Russian
Consul here is in possession of any evi
dence tending to prove that Japanese tor
pedo-boats were in the neighborhood of
Dogger Bank, or that Japan exercised
any Influence on the iisnmg neet.
Both Admiral Bridge and Mr. Asplnwall.
who are conducting . the Inquiry on the
most impartial lines, 'Indicated by ques
tions that the trawler which separated
from the fishing fleet mlght'ftosslbly have
been taken for a torpedo-boat by the Rus
sians.
A suircestion by the Russian Consul
that the shelling was due to the trawlers
failing to stop when blank shots were
fired, and the fact that the lights were
extinguished on at least one trawler, is
considered here to. in some degree. ex.
nlain. thouch not to excuse, the attack
by the Russians.
Believes Mistake Due to Rockets.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 15. A private
letter from an officer of the Aurora .ex
presses the opinion that the whole mistake
was due to the rockets flred by the nsmng
fleet.
RUSSIA MAKES OBJECTION.
British Text of North Sea Convention
Opposed on One Point.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 15. A differ
ence has developed between Great Brit
ain and Russia over the language of the
article in the North Sea Convention rel
ative to the question of responsibility. At
the foreign office it is eald that Russia
does not wish to in any way recede from
the basis of the agreement, but she pro
poses a modification of the language sub
mitted In England's text. The admiral
ty, it Is understood, contended all along
that the International Commission snouia
confine Its inquiry to the establishment of
the question whether torpedo boats were
off the Doggerbank and whether in any
event the-Russian ships were Justlned in
firing.
The Associated Pres3 learns that "vice-
Admiral Rojestvensky's detailed report
shows that some shots from the battle
ships hit the Russian protected cruiser
Aurora one of the shells entering tne
wardroom and wounding a priest, who
afterwards died at Tangier from the in
juries which he sustained. The Russian
admiralty contends" that this la additional
proof of the good faith of the vessels
which flred on what they.belleved to be
toroedoboafcs. not having seen either the
fishing vessels or their own ships of the
cruiser division. Lieutenant Ott, one of
the Russian witnesses, will swear posi
tively that he saw flames rising out of
four funnels of a low-lying ship.
Lieutenant Ellis, another Russian wit
ness, who was in a turret of the Russian
battleship Alexander HL sighted a gun
boat, but did not fire. He declares that
he is positive he eaw a torpedoboat-de
stroyer. Captain Claudo, also one of the
witnesses, insisted that he saw two tor
nedo boats and the depositions of the
officers of the Russian transport Kam
chatka say they saw four boats resent
bllng torpedoboats.
RUSSIA FEARS BRITAIN.
Suspects She Will Find a Way to De
lay Baltic Squadron.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 15. The
forthcoming meeting of the, Presidents
of 38 Provincial Zemstvos is absorbing
public attention to the exclusion of
other Questions.
The progress of the Russian second
Pacific squadron, in which so much of
Russia's hope is centered. Is followed
with Intense Interest The cruisers
Oleg and Tzumrud. seven torpedo
boat destroyers and six torpedoboats
are leaving Libau this week to Join
the squadron.
In St. Petersburg the deep-seated
suspicion exists that if the squadron
arrives close to its destination in an
efficient condition. Great Britain will
in 'some way find a pretext to block
Its further progress, and some of the
newspapers refer to the necessity for
mobilizing troops on the Indian fron
tier, where Russia now has two corps
as a counter threat to guarantee the
safe passage of the squadron. Unfor
tunately the utterances of the press of
both countries are constantly fanning
the feeling of mutual distrust.

FOUNDED AMERICAN SCHOOL
Daughter of the Late W; S. Caldwell
Declares Her Generosity Wien a
Young Woman Led Her to
Occupy Unreal Position.
NEW TORK, Nov. IS. The Associated
Press has received the following, which
before giving publication, it fully verified
by cable from Rome.

Presa) Tou have my full permission to print

MARQUISE DES MONSTIERS.
Dear Editor: It may interest some of
your readers to inow that the Marquise des
Monstiers Meiinville. formerly Mlts M. O.
Caldwell, who. it will be remembered, found
ed the Roman Catholic University at Wash
ington some years ago, has entirely repudi
ated her former creed. In an interview with
me today she said:
"Yes. it Is true that I have left the Roman
Catholic Church. Since I Have been Urine
In Europe, my eyes have been opened to
what that church really Is. and to its any
thing but sanctity. But the trouble soea
much further back than this. Being natu
rally religious, my imagination was early
caught by the Idea of doing something to
lift th-s church from the lowly posIUon which
It occupied In America, so I thought of
university or higher school, where Us clergy
could be educated, and. It possible, refined.
"Of course. In this I was greatly Influenced
by Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, who repre
sented it to me as one of the greatest works
of the day. When I was 21 I turned over
to them one-third of my fortune for that
purpose. But for years I have been trying
to rid myself of tho subtle yet overwhelm
lng influence of a church which pretends
not only to the privilege of being 'the only
true church.' but of being alone able to open
the gates of heaven to a sorrowful, sinful
world. At last, my honest Protestant blood
has asserted Itself, and I now forever repu
dlate and cast off "the yoke of Rome.' " So
saying, the Marquise politely dismissed 'me.
It will be remembered that the Marquise
des Monstiers Merinville and her sister: the
Baroness" von Zeedwiti, are the daughters of
the late William S. Caldwell and his wife.
who was a Breckinridge of Kentucky. Short
ly before his death Mr. Caldwell became
convert to Roman Catholicism and left his
children to the care of Irish Roman Co tho
lies In New York, whom his wife had met
In church circles. The younger sister mar
ried, some IS years ago, a German nobleman.
a Lutheran, and has since then also left the
Roman Catholic communion. The elder sis
ter has been In very bad health for soma
years, from having to occupy a position be
fore the world as a prominent Roman Cath
olic, which was not a real one, and to which
her extreme generosity led her, when
young and Inexperienced girl. Now. at last.
her own mind has asserted Itself, and she

CLERGY IS MUCH SURPRISED.
It Is Loath to Believe the Marquiss
Has Formed Such a Determination.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. Prominent
members of the Catholic clergy in "Wash
insrton tonight expressed their surprise
at the announcement from Rome that the
Marquise des Monstiers, formerly Miss M.
G. Caldwell, and the founder of the Ca tho
le University here, had renounced the
Catholic faith. In fact, they were loath
to believe she had formed such a deter
mination. At the university Itself the
statement would not be accepted as true,
but In order to satisfy himself on the
subject. Rector O'Connell tonight cabled
Rome for Information.
Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, is in this city
to attend the meeting of the trustees of
the 'university. "When asked tonight if he
could ass I en anv reason for the Maraulse
des Monstiers' action, ho answered that
he could not: that he knew her only as
good Catholic, and until the announce
ment was made today had given
thought otherwise.
"It is all a mystery to me," he said.
One official of the Catholic Church to
night attributed as a possible cause, tak-
lng the story to be correct; the . notoriety
which the university gained by the failure
of Thomas A. "Waggaraan, its treasurer,
by which the university suffered consid
erable financial loss.

PUTTING IT STRONG.
But Doesn't It Look Reasonable?
This may read as though we were put
ting it a little strong, because it is gen
erally thought by the majority of peopl
that dyspepsia, in its chronic form Is In
curable or practically so. But we hav
long since shown that dyspepsia is cur
able, nor is It such a difficult matter as at
first appears.
The trouble with dyspeptics Is that they
are continually dieting, starving them
selves, or going to opposite extreme, or
else deluging the already overburdened
stomach with "bitters," "after-dinner
pills," etc, which Invariably increase the
difficulty, even if in some cases they do
r-glve a slight, temporary relief. Such
treatment of the stomach simply makes
matters worse. What the stomach wants
Is a rest, now, how can the stomach be
come rested, recuperated, and at the same
time the body nourished and sustained?
This Is a great secret, and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is a com
paratively new remedy, but Its- success
and popularity leaves no doubt as to -Its
merit.
'xhe Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according
to directions, is to eat an abundance of
good, wholesome food and use the tablets
before and after each meal, .and the result
will be that the food will be digested, no
matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be,
because, as before stated, the tablets will
digest the food, even if the. stomach is
wholly inactive. To Illustrate our mean
ing plainly, If you take 1800 grains of
meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it
In a temperature or 38 degrees, and put
with it one of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets,
it will digest the meat or eggs almost as
perfectly as if the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak, yet
thesfr tablets will perform" the work of dl
srestlon. and the body and the brain will
be properly nourished, and at the same
time a radical, lasting" cure or .uyspepsi
will be made because the much-abused
stomach will -be given, to some extent, a
much needed rest. Your druggist will tell
you that, of all the many resaedles ad
vertlsed to cure Dyspepsia, none of them
have given ao complete and general satis
faction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not least In Importance In these hard.
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.
